I work in kind of a weird niche. The machines I work on are all portable and can be loaded into the back of a Y no problem, but they are used for industrial cleaning applications. Honestly the major factor is cost and based my spreadsheet an mY costs about 50% as much as my truck does to operate and that's with a loan on the Tesla and a paid off truck.Depends on business. If you are expected to show with tools and parts, does not look as good without a box truck or van. If you are showing up for an inspection or with small toolkit/dolly, Y will look good to me. In fact, you may get side conversation on how you like the Y.
personal opinion, take with salt and maybe alcohol
The other aspect is freeway AP, and given that I drive just under 150 miles a day the ability to rely on the car to do the bulk of the driving before I pull up to a site just sounds so refreshing. Not to mention the appeal of a green vehicle in wine country.
